Advice Today it’s about how authority – whether in the form of old people, tradition, governments, orthodoxy or just inertia – is against change and says ‘You can’t do that.’ And the changed Self says ‘I did it already.’ New realities are spawned by this process, and often it’s not a pretty one! Controlling entities talk and don’t listen. Change happens under the covers anyway, and next thing you know there’s a baby reality you have to deal with … hopefully not slaughter?

*Go to Advice (above ) which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)

*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)

Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.

Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

Spiritual: Being a New Person (Page of Wands + Judgment) This is not your father’s new life (new year), it is yours as who you are. He makes a resolution that he is not going to be like the old man. He declares he is a changed cleaned-up person, not controlled or controlling. I’m not old, I am young again. Say it loud and clear: I AM NOT OLD! You can’t be your old self again. I am not going to change when I am old. When you change you aren’t conforming. A new lease on life means I am a new self, with no template. I am a changed person, things are not the way they have always been.

Spiritual: Out with the Old (Emperor + Two of Swords) I do not acknowledge the established order; I declare a new way. Say no to the controllers in a big way. You tell a federal agency ‘No way.’ The word is a government can’t do that again. Just say no to the changes in established tradition. The young are saying no to the old again. The Establishment can’t tell you who to be. Tell the old man you’re not going to change. We say government can’t change that.

The Old Man Says You Can’t (Judgment + Emperor + Two of Swords) Governments announce you can’t talk that way. Old people tell you you can’t. You change things, and some old guy says you can’t. The power people say no to youth. Old people hinder change for the better. Government tells you we can’t change. Government won’t let you be in good shape; it says so. Government puts an end to people changing things. Talking won’t change entrenched bedrock things. Speaking of change is considered anti-establishment. The Establishment tells you who not to be.

Miscellaneous News federal governments don’t tell you. Doesn’t speak with ultimate authority, but reminds you. A mature person does not repeat himself. News is, the young are not going to get old. Young man, when you’re old, you don’t change.

Now, Part Two,

Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim ™ thing works? If so,

*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Daily Spread – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the message.

*Go to Learn Tarot by the Pictures. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in this Spread.

You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim ™ works.

Say hello back! Comment! I spend two hours a day or more writing these to you. Remember to share your experience about our experiment here if you have words for it. Read others’ comments.

And you can call me at the 800 99 3 6 9 12 number from Eastern 1 p. m. to Eastern 1 a. m. at least, every day. (3-6-9-12 like a clock. It makes a pattern on the phone as well – easy to remember.) I analyze business situations and personal relationships accurately from both Tarot and practical perspectives, and even make it fun. (Testimonials are on the web site. http://EmilysInsight.com.)

I could go on forever: These four say almost everything both ways! Judgment is change, a new phase, a new order, and it’s the New Year’s card: You know, the old year is dead, blow the horn, Happy New Year. There it is in the middle.

Page of Wands to the left is a cleaned-up person (the new man), being your best self, the young (even naïve or vain) person, the person who is in good shape (in any way), to stand up for who you are, and to speak, tell, talk.

Emperor to the right is the old man, the rigid hidebound soul, the powermonger or federal government or God or dictator or Establishment, tradition, the old order, orthodoxy and tyranny. Things that don’t change, that are entrenched, that are bedrock.

See what I mean? You can make anything of these! And that’s before Two of Swords, a negator, joins the discussion. Two of Swords is ‘no.’ No way. Block. Can’t do that.

This would be a fun spread for you to play with if you are intrigued by reading Rider Waite Tarot verbatim (or TarotVerbatim™).

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: LEARN TAROT BY THE PICTURES

Page of Wands As I said up there: A cleaned-up person (the new man), being your best self, the young (even naïve or vain) person, the person who is in good shape (in any way), to stand up for who you are, and to speak, tell, talk. You can see the earnest well dressed young man proudly speaking up.

Judgment As I said up there: Change, a new phase, a new order, and it’s the New Year’s card: You know, the old year is dead, blow the horn like the angel on Judgment Day, Happy New Year. Judgment usually means a change for the better, since we assume it is better to be alive than dead.

Emperor Still repeating myself as above: Here we have the old man, the rigid hidebound soul, the powermonger or federal government or God or dictator or Establishment, tradition, the old order, orthodoxy and tyranny. Things that don’t change, that are entrenched, that are bedrock. It can mean both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ things, but since we tend to resent power structures and bossy old people/men, it’s often somewhat pejorative. Its illustration is a rigid bearded stern-looking old man who should be paired more with Queen of Swords than Empress … kind of like Prince Charles?

Two of Swords One of the negator cards, the most emphatic, it shows a blindfolded seated woman holding heavy crossed swords in such a way it isn’t safe to put them down. Her back is to a lake or ocean and she is sitting on a stone bench, all alone. “No way.” Forbidden, you can’t, won’t happen … roadblock. Cannot proceed.

"Amazing! I started Emily's Tarot Lesson's today and that is the word that immediately pops into my head. I have been struggling to learn tarot, especially putting cards together. I have quite a bit of tarot knowledge but Emily blew me away with her first Tarotverbatim lesson. I finally really "see" how the cards can combine, reflect a theme, tie together... how they speak! Wow!! I learned so much more than I even imagined I would! I recommend these lessons to anyone who wants to learn... to make your tarot speak!!! Thank you so much Emily!!!!"
